Texas Motor Speedway adding club along frontstretch

Texas Motor Speedway continues to invest money into making its venue more attractive for fans.

A year after undergoing a much-needed repave project to minimize the length of a rain delay, the track announced plans for a new club area on Monday.

TMS unveiled plans for what it called the “Restart BAR Zone,” an indoor/outdoor seating area above the restart zone at the start of the dogleg section on the frontstretch. It’ll sit approximately 26 rows up and is expected to have a capacity in the range of 200 to 350 fans.

Fans in the section will have the ability to watch races in outdoor seats at half-round tables, bar stools and fixed seats. The outside section will also feature space for fans to play tailgate-type games such as cornhole.

“The Restart BAR Zone Club offers several options for our fans that have never been available at Texas Motor Speedway,” SMI president and CEO Marcus Smith said in a statement. “Fans can be outside to take in all the raw action and power fans love to experience at our races or they can go inside to a quieter environment and visit with others.

“Previously, we have heard from fans that they would enjoy the option of both experiences so this is a way we can accommodate both. Fans are going to love it.”
